Opening statements are scheduled in the trial of a man who killed 10 at a Colorado supermarket

Opening statements are scheduled Thursday in the trial of a mentally ill man who shot and killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021. Police say Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa targeted people who were moving, inside and outside the store in Boulder, killing most of them in just over a minute. No one, including Alissa’s lawyers, disputes he was the shooter. So the three-week trial is expected to focus on whether or not Alissa was legally sane — or able to understand the difference between right and wrong — at the time of the shooting. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia after the shooting.
